Earely the morrow next, before that day
2 His ioyous face did to the world reueale,
They both vprose and tooke their readie way
4 Vnto the Church, their prayers to appeale,
With great deuotion, and with litle zeale:
6 For the faire Damzell from the holy herse
Her loue-sicke hart to other thoughts did steale;
8 And that old Dame said many an idle verse,
Out of her daughters hart fond fancies to reuerse.

Returned home, the royall Infant fell
2 Into her former fit; for why, no powre
Nor guidance of her selfe in her did dwell.

Had gathered Rew, and Sauine, and the flowre

All which she in +a+ earthen Pot did poure,
8 And to the brim with Colt wood did it fill,
And many drops of milke and bloud through it did spill.
